Just Tickled

This comes a little late in the game since I used this idea during the last week of school, but honestly I'm scraping the barrel for helpful posts.  I keep thinking one of these days I'll just plumb run out of ideas to share, and believe me, this one isn't all that inspirational or original anyway.  With that said, I should probably let you make up your own mind on the usefulness of this post.  Moving on.


The last week of school is the only time of the year when I use word searches.  Maybe that's why the kids think it's such a treat.  Truthfully that's just part of the reason.  What makes these word searches worthy of their time are the words they're searching for - their names.  The kids are just tickled that they can find their own names and they're quite vocal when they've found a friend's.  It's a fun way to end the year.


I've used two different sites to create these word searches.  Both are easy to use.  Click on the pictures and you'll be taken to the sites.  I sure hope someone out there finds this idea a useful one!
